A settlement fund of $100 million dollars on behalf of women who were allegedly injured by the birth control product Nuvaring was announced today in New Jersey State Court and Federal Court. (In Re Nuvaring Litigation – Case 284, Bergen County, New Jersey). Attorney Jason T. Brown, the first attorney in the country to commence a battery of these cases against Nuvaring confirmed the settlement was unsealed today in open court. Jason T. Brown, a former FBI Agent, who presently handles class actions and mass torts nationwide indicated that the settlement was fair and just. “This settlement allows an avenue of recovery for women who alleged in their complaints that they endured blood clots such as Deep-Vein Thrombosis, Pulmonary Embolisms, Strokes and Death. There are strict deadlines contained in the settlement and any woman who has counsel should consult with their counsel as soon as possible,” Mr. Brown stated.

The product passed though the hands of Organon, Schering-Plough and the billion dollar pharmaceutical company Merck. After 8 years of fighting, hundreds of depositions worldwide, trial calls that came and went and relentless litigation from both sides the case settled for $100,000,000 (one hundred million dollars).
